Some days off-grid life feels like freedom. Other days, it feels like a test...But maybe that’s the point — real growth happens when you’re stretched in both directions. 🌱⚡️ Would you trade convenience for resilience? #OffGridLiving #HomesteadLife #DoingTheBestWeCan

When, in 1994, a fire destroyed their CA place, Ken Haggard & Polly Cooper rebuilt it back —only better, using fire-resistive strawbale & plaster to build their home-studio next to the only surviving structure (strawbale).

We could have chosen concrete or brick. But instead, we chose straw. Why? It’s: 🌱 Natural and local ❄️ Cool in summer, warm in winter 💸 Gentle on the wallet 🤲 Something we can build with our own hands Not just a house — a home grown from the land around us. #offgrid #selfbuild #sustainableliving

We’re starting our strawbale build here in rural Bulgaria 🌾 Four of us, a pile of bales, and a dream to put down roots in walls we built ourselves. Just family, straw, and a lot of learning along the way. Doing the best we can, with what we’ve got. #offgrid #strawbalehouse #familylife

Living in a rural Bulgarian village feels like stepping into a simpler, slower rhythm of life. No traffic - no rush - just the sound of the birds during the day and the jackals at night. It's a place where you can truly connect with nature. #offgridliving #bulgarialife #ruralvillage #simplelife

🌱 We live on the outskirts of a beautiful village in rural Bulgaria, embracing a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle. Looking forward to connecting with like-minded people who care about exploring alternatives to the conventional way of life. #offgridliving #offgridfamily #bulgaria #newbeginnings
